Trust me..

We'd all be a lot happier with a surface + sub sim.

But, we have limitations on we can accomplish. it's a lot harder than you think and the only way to realize that is to try and edit basic stuff yourself.

To get a proper surface sim, here are the mods I think are minimally required.

Range to Target (Optical range finder or quick key to give you approximate Range To Trg
Time of Flight (display on the TBT or Bino to tell you how long it takes shells to splash)
Damage Model
Reactive AI (sending ships and aircraft after you)

After reading 'The war at sea 1939 - 1945' which basically details EVERY major sea action, there's a couple of important things which we'll need:

1. radar
2. air attack (esp from single engined a/c carrying torps and/or bombs) - this was especially deadly (eg. Prince of Wales / Repulse)
3. spotter planes (eg. the Pocket BB carries it - this is what the japs used instead of radar)
4. gunnery directors (collectively fired the main weapons - this is where the range finding, etc becomes important)
5. smoke screens
6. Destroyers doing torp runs
7. tankers (ability to refuel in mid-ocean)
8. Task forces (ability for you to control a task force just like the convoy commander screen in MP play)
9. land-based targets

you put all these things together in some form or other (ie. in combination to that mentioned above) and you've got yourself a WORLDWIDE naval sim!! we already have the world and ocean

Most of these things are already in the game, others might be possible (Except for commanding Task Forces, but I explained in the other thread that it's possible for you to play a single ship, that is a part and not leading a Task Force...Oh, and the scout plane might be impossible too)

I'd like to see a "repeat last command" feature when dealing with repetitive editing or something that will allow you to add multiple array items at one time.

We should make a discussing thread with a poll for surfaced ships/ playable sufaced ships!

It's here I posted it a couple of days ago http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=136013

BTW - the change for ammo to support HE should be made here

Mod folder/Data/Library/GerSubParts/AdmiralScheer_Geschutz.sim

Got to the wpn_Cannon node
Expand ammo_storage
Under HE add the following data to the corresponding values

For shell enter 0x5a10c7abc98196cc
For amount enter whatever you want

Mikhayl - I can't seem to find Particles.dat - I only see .fx files under Data/Sea/Particles folder.

Could someone please re-upload this mod with the textures fixed? I got red/green skins too, and s3d won't work somehow, so I can't change it myself

[andycaccia]

I'd like to improve some armaments of this ship, where should I look to find ammo storages and shells damage for this ship?

With version 1.1(newest d/l on the first page, the texture bugs must be fixed!
